Tips for Naming your MINI

Monday, 01 October, 2018

If you’re reading this on October 2nd, it is National Name Your Car Day! Are you a proud owner of a Keeler MINI? Does your car have a name? Great! It is an important part of your daily life, and it deserves one! Still driving around in a nameless MINI? Lucky for you, MINIs already have cool model names— like the Countryman and the Clubman. Some other brands—not so much:

Chevy Nova: Nova… Kind of a catchy name… Unless you speak Spanish. “No va” in Spanish translates to “it does not go”. Not the type of car you want to be behind the wheel of!

Daihatsu Scat: “Scat” has a few different meanings on merriam-webster.com— 1: to go away quickly (cool, a fast car!) 2: jazz singing with nonsense syllables (sweet, a musical ride!) 3: AN ANIMAL FECAL DROPPING. Yuck! No one will want to be in the boot of a ride with that name!

So, luck you, you’re the proud owner of a Keeler Countryman or a Keeler Clubman—But, what if your car gives off feminine vibes? Does your MINI have style and grace with bubbly warmth? Here are some ways to spin the “-man” into a lady:

Sometimes, there is no rhythm or reason for your car's name, like Ronnie’s MINI. This Keeler MINI Motoring Advisor is the proud owner of a 2-Door Cooper S named “Carl”. Just like the brand’s 4 letter name, C-A-R-L was the perfect match for this White Silver Hardtop.
